    Great controller. It is a bit pricy, but it seems to last longer than standard Xbox controllers from getting stuck drift. The paddles are nice since you can take them off and put them on when convenient. The hard case that it comes with is very nice for storing the interchangeable D-Pad/joystick pieces.

    Old reliable right here. Ive tried a few different controllers and always come back to the elite 2 series because of its sturdiness, heaviness, button map quality and ease of use and it connects with my wireless headsets

    Best controller I’ve used! The paddles are such a game changer (ha ha). But seriously the weight, the quality are far above the standard controllers. Highly recommend

    I think personally for me the only way to play any console games is on a controller like this, whether you play Xbox or PlayStation paddles have been such a game changer. As for this specific controller it has served me well and I think it is a solid choice without being too pricey.

    Great controller love the customization of the sticks, Dpad, and the triggers. Very premium feel as well as it feeling very sturdy. Connectivity is great as well with bluetooth. Price is a bit high for a controller honestly though.

    Super high quality product. Comes with all 4 paddles, and 4 extra joysticks depending on preference. Comes in a nice carrying case also. It’s got some weight on it and feels like a very sturdy product.

    I picked up this Xbox controller from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The controller itself is fantastic—comfortable grip, super responsive buttons, smooth joysticks, and amazing overall build quality. It feels great during long gaming sessions and performs flawlessly in every game I’ve tried. What made the experience even better was buying it at Best Buy. The product was in perfect condition, the price was great, and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Pickup was fast and easy, and the packaging was secure.

    I use a controller for PC and I had a normal controller, then a normal elite and its charging port finally gave out and decided to try this guy out. Ive had it for about almost 2 weeks now and it is the best/most comfortable controller I have owned, also I think my normal Elite was just worn out because this one drastically improved my running game in Madden 21 on PC and my aiming in COD. The feel is nice and grippy and has a nice weight. All the customizations are awesome as well. Overall improvement to the original!

    I've really been enjoying this controller. The rechargeable battery was something I'm glad this came with. I like the old 360 thumb sticks which this comes with an assortment of different ones. The D-pad pictured in the advertisement is nice for fighting games but you can switch that out too. The only real issue I've had is with the paddles on the bottom. You'll need to train your muscle memory to accept them. Overall, they are the better way to play. Do yourself a favor and disable the x y a b buttons in the menus on the XBox/PC. The controller is heavy compared to the standard ones. It's solid and the grip is awesome. You'll need to relinquish that death grip most people play with in order to get accustomed to the paddles. Another thing is that the paddles are great for reassigning buttons like the Thumbstick - To - Run assignment most Call of Duty games have. Sea of Thieves does this. Again it's relearning how to walk, run, and jump. When you finally get it, your K/D ratio will increase dramatically, ie you are no longer taking your thumbs off the movement sticks to hit buttons. Some of the more advanced features are not explained like cording several buttons together for special commands.

    The best controller you could ever buy for Xbox and pc. Would be 5 stars, except the bumpers can’t seem to last longer than a couple of years. Definitely get the replacement plan on it. Other thank that, it’s comfortable, solid, highly customizable and extremely precise.

    I was a bit hesitant to buy this, especially because of the pricing. Wasn’t sure if the price was gonna make it up or feel any different than any regular controller I used but I was so wrong. You can feel a difference in a quality controller. I love the case it comes with and the customization is great. Need to play a few hours with it to change it to your settings. Charging battery is a lot better as well and the pads make it easier to play more competitive if that’s what you want.

    Excellent so far just make sure you buy the charger because it didn’t come with it. Actually it had a cord with a USB that plugs into the Xbox but that never worked so I had to buy a secondhand one on eBay. The charge lasts like one week playing every day so that’s good and it’s a very it feels very heavy duty like it’ll last. It’s expensive tho.

    Best controller I've used to date. Has some weight to it and feels grippy. The software allows you to remap buttons and change the color of the x button. Id definitely spend the extra money for the case dock and paddles.

    I love this controller! It’s heavier than a normal Xbox controller, which is nice. The rubberized grips are great for extended gameplay. It also has a great battery life so far. Overall, great controller. I would definitely recommend this to others.

    I bought the Elite because I was sick of bumpers/sticks etc. breaking on my standard Xbox controller. And for a while, these controllers performed well. They feel great, the weight is good, and the accessories/customization options are a plus. But the bumpers still don't last. Look, I'm not throwing my controller around, dropping it, or button mashing. But somehow, miraculously, Microsoft made the bumpers on the Elite controller just as poorly as the original controllers; they get mushy/break with regular, long-term use. Overall, it's a good controller. Just pay up and get the Best Buy warranty, because you'll probably need it.

    Have a black series 2 controller and the core and the back pedals are helpful. The stop triggers are a nice feature and the battery life lasts days on a single charge. These controllers are comfortable. The only thing about my black one is I had it for two months and it already has a slight stick drift with the right stick.
